Five petals fan out from a round blue sapphire, and each petal is built in two overlapping layers with notched tips, so the flower has actual depth. The sapphire sits high in a six-prong crown above the petals, a single spot of color in the middle of all that soft white and gold.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEvery petal is covered in seed pearls, graduated in size and bead-set to follow the petal's shape. Victorian jewelers loved seed pearls for their gentle glow and their long association with purity. Flowers were one of the era's favorite ways to wear sentiment. Here the pearls give the gold a soft texture that changes with the light.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe craftsmanship holds up from every angle. The petals aren't flat: they dip and lift, with the upper layer arching over the lower one. On the back, each petal is cupped and shaped, held in place by thin supports that meet at a center disc. A worn hallmark still shows the anchor of the Birmingham Assay Office, which ties the brooch to one of the great centers of English jewelry making.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A.J.
